Having a Farm Share is the easiest, least expensive way to get the freshest, most nutritious variety of organic vegetables in season.In your weekly Farm Share, you’ll get 6-10 kinds of fresh-picked produce for 20 weeks, June through October. Shares are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

***

A Farm Share costs $575 for four and a half months (20 weeks) of fresh-picked produce. You'll receive 6-10 types of organic veggies each week. Your Share will keep growing and changing throughout the season. Payment details below. If you're joining us after the season has started, we'll pro-rate the cost of your Share depending on how many weeks you'll get veggies.See the list of vegetables we grow at the end of this post.

When does the Harvest Season begin?

We will begin harvesting in June and distribute shares weekly into October.

How big is a Share?

A Full Share will generally meet the needs of two adults or two adults with two small children if you eat a fair amount of vegetables. If you feel that it may be too many vegetables for you, we encourage you to find someone else to split your Share with you. When splitting, you each pay for half the share and split the vegetables between you each week, or you can alternate picking up the full Share every other week.

Where & when do I pick-up my Share?

In Rochester, pick up will be on Wednesdays at a Member's home in Pittsford. In the Buffalo area, Share pick-up will be on Thursdays at Welbeze Juice + Eatery (formerly Beary Good) in Williamsville. <Sold out for 2018>

What is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)? CSA's are an alternative way of connecting farmers and consumers that insures fresher, better quality, healthier food for the consumer and a guaranteed market for the farmer.

Benefits of Membership

Save Money - Getting vegetables through a CSA saves you money because you buy directly from the grower without any mark-up or shipping costs. Compared to grocery store prices, pound for pound, food purchased through a CSA gives you greater savings.

Healthy for You, Healthy for the Earth - Our veggies have maximum nutrition because you get them the same day they are picked. Scientific studies show that organically grown produce has, on average,25% more vitamins and minerals than non-organic produce. In addition, our vegetables do not have the health detractors of pesticides, herbicides, artificial fertilizers, waxes and resins, which not only tax your health but also the health of the planet.

Our Promise & Sharing the Risk - We promise to do our best to provide you with affordable, healthy, fresh organically grown food. In this era of climate change, growing food holds many challenges. As partners in community supported agriculture, our members risk getting a smaller harvest due to overly wet or dry conditions or receiving "more than you pay for" when we have great weather and bumper crops. Because there are major factors not under our control, Shares are non-refundable. Please note that a majority of our members return from year to year.Overall,belonging to a CSA is not simply about getting great vegetables. It's about being part of a movement that is boosting local economies as well asreclaiming healthy food, unspoiled land, air and water for ourselves and generations to come.
